Boston confinement walk, April 2020
We took the MBTA Red Line (masks on, touching nothing!) to Charles River/MGH…..the train was empty. We walked from there down the Charles River, under the Lechmere Viaduct, towards North Station and Spaulding, down Causeway Street and into the North End on the waterfront. The park we normally skirt is under massive construction, looks to be as well some sea level barrier work. So we took a turn we never take and headed up the hill….when I remembered my Great Aunt Phil telling me the address where the family lived when she was born in 1917. I looked at my personal google maps - eerie, I guess I have sacrificed my anonymity for convenience many years ago…..to see the pin I dropped at 55 Snow Hill Road. We also visited the Cobb’s Hill cemetery and continued back towards Downtown Crossing to head home. It was slow and lots of pictures were taken, there are the best of an mediocre day of shooting….light was off when on foot I carry only my smallest fixed lens….
